WV at Lean Republican is rather amusing.

Because it's not a Republican state, and the GOP candidate will likely be much worse for the state than Bush in 2004 (especially Giuliani, who is about as awful as you can get for a candidate for WV. He's at the polar opposite with it on almost every issue)

I'd have to disagree with you in part.  West Virginia is unlikely to go for the Democratic candidate more strongly than the national PV goes in a strictly two-party race.  I do have to wonder about the 66 of 174 predictions that have it as a Strong GOP state though.  Absent a third party that fractures the anti-GOPers I can't see WV as any better than Lean GOP.

Based on what? Against a cultural conservative I can understand this argument though it is still rather flawed, but what appeal does Giuliani have in West Virginia?

Don't expect anything other than flukey movements until:

1-We have a clue who the nominees will be and
2-State polls start to come out regularly.
